Exposing the underbelly of Armstrongism in all of it's wacky glory! Nothing you read here is made up. Every crazy, weird and wacky quote is straight from the pens of Armstrongite leaders or members who think they possess some insight into God and the Bible. What you read here is the up to date face of Herbert W Armstrong's legacy. It's the gritty and dirty behind the scenes look at Armstrongism as you have never seen it before!

A Malmite Says: "I’m waiting for “Elijah” to come along who will “hack to pieces” the priests of baal..."

More appalling comments from one of Malm's acolytes:

James, you mentioned that the time may be ripe for the two witnesses. I’m
waiting for “Elijah” to come along who will “hack to pieces” (as the
KJV says) the priests of baal only this time verbally so to speak.
Nothing short of this is going to have an impact, in my opinion.As the
old saying goes the best defense is an offense.Thanks for your work!

This person is not looking for a verbal smack down. They want to see these so call "priests of Baal" killed so that the "truth" can go forward. They want their god to strike these men down, who ever they may be. Oh wait! It's coming from an Armstrongite, so we KNOW who they are talking about. It's the great whore of Babylon, the Catholic Church.

19 Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.

The Malmite fails to note the additional 400 prophets of Asherah, the consort of Baal also championed by Jezebel who had issues with Elijah and scared him to death when she found out what he had done. These 400 (were they female?) are not executed in this tale.

What we actually are seeing here is an OT Cultic shoot out between Elijah's YHVH and The Prohets BAAL over the Consort Asherah. Asherah was probably the prize for winning.

Two males competing over one woman is not a pretty scene but very human. I guess this is why "I the Lord thy God am a jealous God...."

Whether we understand it or not, Polytheism was a rampant Hebrew belief until it was written out of the text. El, the Hebrew God originally had a consort but of course ended up a bachelor living with his single Son in Heaven by the time of the NT to fit Christian needs

This goofball Malmite is making this all up in his head and has no basis in reality.

Isn't this the same sort of motivation the Pharisees had in waiting for the Messiah? And, did they not reject Jesus because He came as a loving and suffering Messiah? Didn't He work outside of the supposed authority of the established church of His day?

Sometimes you can want something good for the wrong reasons. You never hear these legalistic self-appointed teachers of Armstrongism praying for their enemies, or for their repentance and transformation. They always seem to want them punished in painful and grotesque ways! The Bible does tell us that we will be judged by the standards which by which we judge others.

Imagine the following scene, sometime in the distant future: A group of people, led by a white haired patriarch sits around an unfathomably huge pit of fire, eating popcorn that has been very carefully prepared without the usage of "unclean" elements. They cheer as different individuals are sentenced and thrown into this (for lack of a better term) lake.Just after the last person has been thrown in, a booming voice thunderingly asks, "Did you enjoy the show?". The group stands up, cheers, and replies, "Yes, Lord!"

The thundering voice angrily shouts, "You fools have totally missed the point!", and suddenly casts all of them into the lake as well.
